ASUS VS247H-P 23.6" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Monitor

I have 2 of these and probably going to order a 3rd. I didnt order them at the exact same time as others are blaming the new design to cause a "yellow tint". I had this "yellow tint" and washed color issue due to the cables, graphics card, and KVM that I use so I fixed the issue via software. For those who read the negative reviews about this yellow tint... This is more than likely caused by the cables, graphics card, or other device in between. I confirmed it by simply switching the cables... A very simple debugging task that takes seconds to perform rather than simply blaming the manufacturer... Im writing this review to clear up some of the confusion that I had read with people who didnt do this simple debugging task and blame the monitor and go through the whole replacement process. Im trying to educate and inform those who are looking to buy this monitor that the specific "yellow tint" is a cable / port issue which can be corrected by software. If you are going to convert say HDMI to VGA, make sure that the reviews are solid. I had ordered a new adapter and it cause more of a yellow tint. Plugged the other adapter back in and it was back to normal. Also I had another video card that by default didnt have this issue. It was a cheapo fanless Geforce 210 that had DVI and VGA. My new GTX 750 Ti caused the HDMI + VGA to have a "yellow tint" which was easy to correct.

I got this gem for 89$ after a 20$ rebate from Asus. How can you go wrong with 24 inches Asus for 89$??!! Came yesterday and I immediately hooked it up. Packaging - The monitor in Asus box is very well packaged, Amazon put it in a MUCH bigger box with stuffings and made it very secure for shipping. -Assembly -Took all of 30 seconds to pull out the round-ish plate desktop stand and attach to the neck stand already part of the monitor. To my surprise, the plate had a nice size bolt in it with a flat blade screwdriver slot..but...there is a small swivel handle attached to the bolt, lift it up and you simply use it to turn the bolt and attach plate to neck, then fold swivel back down and its good to go! All of 30 seconds, incredibly nice touch for such an inexpensive monitor. Picture - Not what I expected here, there are 4 or 5 preset you get by pushing thru one button.For displaying windows it looks perfect on any setting, absolutely no issues there but then I put in a DVD movie and also tested on Amazon Prime and Netflix. I dont know who came up with these values for each but they are all terrible, 3 of them make the monitor look all washed out like a VHS tape from late 70s and the other 2, Scenery and Theater I think add some color but they are over contrast and saturated, yet though after watching a movie for a bit on the Scenery it didnt seem so bad. But they really do stink. I suggest you do what I did, go thru the menu system and write down the color - contrast.- brightness settings for each, find one thats close to what you can stomach and then adjust to your taste. After that I was happy. The instructions are terrible, just a description of the specific function for each and then their functions for operating the menu system. I say they are terrible because they did only that , and there is no explanation for terminology or what other things meant in the menu, I no newbie, Ill look on the web site for better explanation of "slpendid" or "splendor" some auto control you can mess with I think? Not a real big hit though. Features & Stuff - I was very surprised to see that with the power cable a VGA and DVI cable was included. There is no HDMI cable though, I wasnt expecting any and the VGA and DVI is a big plus for a budget monitor. (henforce implies VGA, DVI HDMI inputs). The stand besides having the nifty swivel screw in device will also allow you to till it up and down a good amount and it stays in place nicely, not like other junk monitors that just slump down and stay there. VESA mounts, a shocker at this level as other name brand pricier monitors do not include this. There is also a head phone jack which is supper nice feature, its audio from HDMI. Thats great because all speakers on monitors really stink, just read any review of one that has them, so rather than drive up cost and waste money on features you can use, Asus puts it to a high quality head phone interface the you can then use your headphones or send a wired or wireless signal to your GOOD speakers. For control there are 5 buttons on lower right underneath, for power, contrast, brightness, menu and something else I cant remember, and then a function for menu control. The menu is quite extensive allows you alot of control and you can also adjust audio from there, a place not easy to regularly get to so set just once and then use your source or your speakers to adjust. If you are driving speakers do not set this to the highest level, set it to mid at most, as the higher you go the more distortion you will get, this is true and same concept of amp and pre-amp let the amp do the bulk of work. 2ms is very fast, and unexpected again for this proce point, but Im not a gamer but it will be a noticeable feature in action movies which I watch alot. Other Thoughts - So despite my comments on the pre-sets I love this monitor ! 24 inches, tons of room for all the windows I have open for engineering and a big screen to watch movies and your 16:9 pictures and home videos will look like never before on these. A tilt-able stand - vesa mount supports, 3 video ports - audio and Asus quality all for 89$ Its a no brainer, even the 109$ is more than worth it. I will probably get another. One word of reviewers who complain about picture quality - spend more money and get a better monitor, being so picky about video quality here is like buying a 4 cylinder 110hp engine and complaining that you cant keep up with a 754 hp Dodge Hellcat. My eyes are crappy anyway so there is no need to buy a high end monitor, even if you have good eyes you will love this monitor.

Bought the first one in December of 2015, right when I got my gaming PC. I had no issues with the pixels or light bleed, although after a year I see the slightest amount of bleed on the vertical edges of the older monitor. Its barely noticeable though, and it has had no effect on my ability to use the monitor. Bought the second one this week, and as you can see, I have no issues with it. This is the setup 20 minutes after I opened the package. I havent had the yellow tint issue either time, or dead pixels, or bad light bleed. The new monitor matches the color and one of the first, and Im more than a little pleased with my new second monitor. It was a warm welcome into gaming 2017 style. For video editing? Ehh, you can find something better, absolutely. For gaming or general use? I couldnt recommend more.

I was using a single Samsung 22" LCD (S22B310) for years and wanted a multi monitor setup with slightly larger monitors, better response time, and at least 2x digital connections per monitor. I needed to be able to connect 2x computers to them and switch inputs built in (KVMs for 2x computer 6x outputs are expensive and rare). I have my personal main desktop used for gaming, productivity (office, video and photo editing, etc) and watching videos. I also have a Asrock N3150 Beebox I am using to remote connect to work (low power, vesa mount and 3x digital video outs built in). At the price I am very happy with these ($129, $109 with rebate on 2...will update re: rebate). On paper they are perfect, 2ms response, 24", 1080p, hdmi and dvi connections, no power brick, standard power cables. In use they arent perfect but fit my needs and I would buy them again. First the colors at the stock out of the box settings are washed out a bit. The built in presets for color profiles are nice but only 2 of them i found to get the color pretty good. The bezel is a little thicker than id have liked for a triple monitor setup (and vs some more expensive offerings from ASUS), but its not a deal breaker for me. The stands not as terrible as some reviewers mention but also not great. The biggest issue i have with built in stands is that side by side they vary enough to notice (about 1/8 inch or less shorter or taller vs each other on a level desk). I plan on getting a triple monitor vesa stand any way so not the end of the world. The good is that for a bit over $300 I get 3x 1080p monitors with hdmi and dvi connections. At 24" they make my old 22" monitor seem puny. The response time is great, doubt i could tell the difference between 2ms vs 1ms. Color/brightness once calibrated is great and the viewing angles arent bad. With this setup i went from needing to switch between all of my open stuff to wondering how im gonna use all the screen real estate. If you only game, a larger 2560x1440 or even 4k monitor is probably gonna be better (most games dont work well with 5760x1080, mostly FPS benefits). However the space to work with for productivity is awesome. I was originally looking at the ASUS VN247H-P but for the extra $150ish total it wasnt worth it for me. If built in speakers, dual hdmi, 1ms response and a thinner bezel are important to you though they are likely a good step up. My main desktop runs a GTX 660Ti and some games like Batman AO (30-50fps) and Diablo 3 (50-60fps) are very playable at basically max settings. Other games like Star Citizen are likely not going to be enjoyable without me upgrading my GPU (waiting for the new pascal GPUs in 2016). Lastly, built quality seems great. 3 monitors and not 1 dead pixel. Packaging was good. I also like that they come with what seems like a excellent warranty, of course only time will tell if they deliver on the promise...which i hope to never need.

I have 2 of these monitors currently. They were bought years apart. I love these monitors. There is a slight backlight bleed on the edges but under normal use you will barely notice it. As a gamer the thing I look for in the reviews is whether or not there are comments about ghosting. Im happy to announce that these monitors do not have any noticeable ghosting even when playing first person shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield. 23.6 - 24 inch monitors are the perfect size of a monitor that is about a foot and a half from your eyes. The pixel density is just enough that you do not notice individual pixels on your screen. The only gripe I have with this monitor is that when cleaning I somehow peeled off part of the Asus logo and its kind of sticking out and it gets caught whenever I try to wipe the monitor. PROS: - No noticeable ghosting - Great pixel density - Vivid Colors - Vesa mount compatible - Wide viewing angle - Stable stand CONS: - Menu navigation could be better - Thick frame -

This is a slightly upgraded version of my other monitor so I knew what to expect. Its crisp and clear, not much to say except that and I love it. It was packed very securely, no chance of damage. Came with a DVI cable - an HDMI cable would have been a nice inclusion. There is one little problem/feature a buyer should be aware of. The monitors built-in menu allows you to select input from HDMI, DVI or VGA. Be careful never to switch to an input unless you have something that can actually connect to that input, because if there is no active input the monitor immediately goes into standby mode and the menu button stops working until you do connect something to that input. If you intend to use the monitor on two computers and switch back and forth, before you shut down or disconnect the active computer you have to remember to switch the monitor over to the other one first, because you wont be able to do this after disconnecting the active one.
